Every day, Don Quixote and Sancho rode on and on, and every day they had new
adventures. One day, they came up a hill and saw two great clouds of dust on the
road in front of them.

The clouds of dust were from sheep, but because Don Quixote had many silly ideas in
his head, he said, 'Look, Sancho! It is the army of the great emperor Alifanfaron, and
the army of the king of the Garamantas. They're going to fight, and the Garamantas will
need my help.

Don Quixote took up his lance, and began to ride away down the hill.

'Come back, Master!' cried Sancho. 'They're not armies, they're sheep!' But Don Quixote
did not stop. He rode through the sheep, and began to hit them with his lance.

The shepherds shouted at him and threw stones at him, but Don Quixote didn't listen.
'Where are you, Alifanfaron?' he cried. 'Come here and fight me!'
